1. _ The Christmas Song
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
Will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
An' goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
How to fly
And so i'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times many ways
Merry christmas to you!
< instrumental break >
And so i'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times many ways
Merry christmas . . . to you!

2. _ Tomboy
Tomboy, tomboy, nuthin' but a tomboy,
Tomboy, tomboy, nuthin' but a tomboy . . .
When we were small, i used to call you "tomboy"
The years have flown since you were known as "tomboy"
No made-up face, no fancy lace, pigtails in your hair,
It seems like only yesterday,
You tagged behind me everywhere!
I never thought that i'd get caught by "tomboy" ( tomboy! )
The pink chiffon worked magic on my "tomboy" ( tomboy! )
An' now i find, i've been blind,
You were always on my mind,
Before i'm through, you'll say i do,
An' "tomboy" will be mine!
Tomboy, tomboy, nuthin' but a tomboy,
Tomboy, tomboy, nuthin' but a tomboy . . .

3. _ You Needed Me
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up, and gave me dignity
Somehow, you needed me!
You gave me strength, to stand alone again
To face the world, out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that i could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me!
Can't believe it's you, i can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
Though i'll never leave, why should i leave?
I'd be a fool, when i finally found someone who really cares!
Who really cares!
You held my hand ~ you held my hand
When it was cold ~ when it was cold
When i was lost ~ when i was lost
You took me home ~ you took me home
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that i could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me . . .
. . . you needed me,
You needed me . . .

4. _ O Holy Night
O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night
Of the dear saviour's birth!
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'till he appeared
And the soul felt it's worth!
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks
A new an' glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when christ was born
O night divine o night,
O night divine!
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when christ was born
O night divine o night,
O night divine!
O holy night
O night divine

Angry, please don't be angry,
'cause i was only teasing you!
I wouldn't even let you think of leavin'
Don't you know i love you true!
Just because i took a look at somebody else,
That's no reason you should put poor me on the shelf!
Angry, please don't be angry,
'cause i was only teasing you!
Don't believe a thing you hear, just wait 'till you see,
Then you'll find no cause to show that you're jealous of me!
Oh! angry, please don't be angry,

Before each silvery star fades out of sight,
Please give me one little kiss, then let us whisper "goodnight,"
It's gettin' late and, dear, your pillow's waitin' . . .
Sleepy time gal, when all your dancin' is through,
Sleepy time gal, i'll find a cottage for you.
You'll learn to cook and to sew,
What's more, you'll love it, i know!
When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
Eight o'clock sleepy time gal!

7. _ If ( David Gates )
If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't i paint you?
The words would never show,
The you i've come to know . . .
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am i to go?
There's no one home but you,
You're all that's left me to . . .
And when my love for life
Is running dry,
You come and pour
Yourself on me . . .
If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you,
Tomorrow and today,
Beside you all the way . . .
If the world should stop revolving,
Spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you
When the world was through . . .
Then one by one
The stars would all go out . . .
Then you and i
Would simply fly away!

8. _ Frosty The Snowman
Frosty the snowman,
Was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made of coal.
Frosty the snowman,
Is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow,
But the children know
How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in
That old silk they found,
For when they placed it on his head,
He began to dance around!
Oh, frosty, the snowman,
Was alive as he could be;
And the children say
He could laugh and play,
Just the same as you and me.
Frosty, clumsy as he can be
See him lopping along!
Off he goes on an icicle spree
With a happy song!
Frosty the snowman,
Knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, "let's run, and we'll have some fun,
Now, before i melt away."
Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Runnin' here and there,
All around the square,
Sayin', "catch me if you can."
He led them down the streets of town,
Right to the traffic cop . . .
And only paused a moment,
When he heard him holler, "stop!"
Hmm, frosty the snowman,
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . .
Look at frosty go!
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . .
Over the hills of snow!

9. _ Send In The Clowns
Isn't it rich, are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground, you in mid air!
Send in the clowns!
Isn't it bliss, don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move!
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns!
Just when i stopped, opening doors
Finally knowin' the one that i wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again, with my usual flair
Sure of my lines, but no one is there!
Don't you love farce?
My fault i fear!
I thought that you'd want what i want
I'm sorry my dear!
Quick, send in the clowns . . .
Don't bother . . . they're here!
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career!
Where are the clowns? there's gotta be clowns!
Maybe next year.

Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,

All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity!

This through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.

13. _ You're Just In Love
I hear singing and there's no one there,
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare,
All day long i seem to walk on air,
I wonder why, i wonder why ?
I keep tossing in my sleep at night,
And what's more i've lost my appetite,
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies,
Are twinkling in my eyes,
I wonder why ?
You don't need analyzin'
It is not so surpisin'
That you feel very strange but nice!
Your heart goes pitter patter
I know just what's the matter
Because i've been there once or twice!
Put your head on my shoulder
You need someone who's older
A rub-down with a velvet glove!
There is nothing you can take
To relieve that pleasant ache
You're not sick, you're just in love!
< repeat verse and chorus simultaneously >
Now you know why!
Now i know why!
I'm just in love!

It's got rhythm to spare.

And it fits me as well
As a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does,

What a beautiful noise! ~ what a beautiful noise!
Comin' up from the park ~ comin' up from the park
It's the sound of the kids ~ sound of the kids
And it plays until dark ~ and it plays until dark
It's the sound of the cars ~ sound of the cars
On their furious flight ~ on their furious flight
. . . but there's even romance
In the way that they dance
To the beat of the night!
It's a beautiful noise!~ what a beautiful noise!
And it's the sound that i love! ~ and it's the sound that i love!
And it fits me as well ~ and it fits me as well
As a hand in a glove! ~ yes it does!

Comin' in to my room!! ( comin' into my room! )
And it's beggin' for me ( and it's beggin' for me! )

A lot of little questions there concerning me
For instance . . .
Has he aged, or did he lose weight?
I think i read somewhere that he's 38!
He hasn't lost his hair, he could stand a little dye!
He looks relaxed up there but what's he like inside?
How does old perra-la unwind?
I could almost read their minds!
From my publicity
I'll bet you'd like to know,
If i'll stay awake thru the entire show?
You wonder what's beneath that florida tan
Deep down inside is he . . .
A dirty old man?
What does it really take to make him lose his cool?
Does he go anywhere without that tired stool?
Does he notice girl's behinds?
I can almost read your minds!
It doesn't take a guy equipped with esp
To see what's cookin' with your curiosity!
Is "mister nice guy" just a press agent's pitch?
His dearest friends say he's a . . .

Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You could even say it glows.

Santa came to say:
"rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You'll go down in history."

Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around i see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me!

Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, lord, abide with me!

And taught me to spell 'christmas' this way:
'c' is for the christ child, born upon this day
'h' for herald angels in the night
'r' means our redeemer
'i' means israel
's' is for the star that shone so bright
't' is for three wise men, they who travelled far
'm' is for the manger where he lay

They call me a dreamer, well maybe i am,
But i know that i'm burnin' to see
Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names,
Callin' . . . callin' . . . me . . .

It's always fair weather,
When hep cats get together!
And every time they meet,
Here's the way you'll hear them greet ( greet! )
A hubba-hubba-hubba hello dad!
Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, i just got back!
Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, let's shoot some breeze!
Say, whatever happened to the japanese?
Hmm a hubba-hubba-hubba, haven't you heard?
A hubba-hubba-hubba, slip me the word!
I got it from a guy who was in the kno'
It was mighty smoky over tokyo!
A friend of mine in a b-29 dropped another load for luck,
As he flew away, he was heard to say:
"a hubba-hubba-hubba yuk yuk!"
Well i gotta go fishin'
That's ok, we'll give you our permission and we'll say,
A hubba-hubba-hubba, on your way!
And i will dig you later in the usa!
Ta dah dah dee dee dee ta dee dee, ta dah dah hi hi hi tee dee dee!
A hubba-hubba-hubba, i just got in!
A hubba-hubba-hubba, well give me some skin!
Well you're lookin' mighty purdy miss curly locks!
I'm the grand old girly of the bobby socks!
Hmm yuttata yuttata yuttaton you talk big!
Well i'm the fresh tomata you can't dig!
Let's have a heart to heart'a and you'll decide!
I'm a chick what's really on the solid side!
You knock me flat, you're the kind of a cat,
Makes me wanta blow my top: " |

33. _ But Beautiful
Love is funny, or it's sad,
Or it's quiet, or it's mad.
It's a good thing, or it's bad,
But beautiful . . .
Beautiful to take a chance,
And if you fall, you fall.
And i'm thinkin'
I wouldn't mind at all . . .
Love is tearful, or it's gay,
It's a problem, or it's play.
It's a heartache either way,
But beautiful . . .
And i'm thinkin'
If you were mine,
I'd never let you go,
And that would be the beautiful i know.

And from morn to set of sun,

36. _ Put Your Hand In The Hand
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water . . .
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea . . .
Take a look at yourself,
And you can look at others differently,
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man
From the galilee!
Every time i look into the holy book
I want to tremble . . .
When i read about the part where the carpenter
Cleared the temple . . .
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellas
Than what i profess to be,
And it causes me shame to know
I'm not the guy that i should be!

Mamma taught me how to pray
Before i reached the age of seven . . .
She said: there'll come a time when we'll probably need a room
In heaven!
And i'm feeling kinda guilty |
37. _ When I Need You
When i need you,
I just close my eyes and i'm with you
And all that i so want to give you,
It's only a heartbeat away!
When i need love,
I hold out my hands and i touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night an' day!
A thousand miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can take the place of your smile
But you know i won't be travellin' forever
It's cold out, but hold out an do like i do!
When i need you,
I just close my eyes and i'm with you
And all that i so want to give you,
It's only a heartbeat away!
It's not easy when the road is goodbye, love! ( goodbye, love! )
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bare!
But you know i won't be travellin' a lifetime!
It's cold out, but hold out
An do like i do!
When i need love,
I hold out my hands and i touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night an' day!
When it's cold out,
Hold out an do like i do
When i need you!

Can't live without the girl with the golden . . . braids! )
I saw a gal with golden hair
Dancin' as i played
Never saw a gal so fair

Gave my fiddle for a dance

Found that life that i adore

Ever since that night in june,

Love, look at the two of us,
Strangers, in many ways,
We've got a lifetime to share,
So much to say,
And, as we go, from day to day,
I'll feel you close to me,
But, time alone will tell,
Let's take a lifetime to say,
"i knew you well!"
For only time will tell us so,
And love may grow,
For all we know!

Yet there you were, in love with me.
I found your lips close to mine, so i kissed you,
And you didn't mind it at all!

If there's a chance that you care, then please,
Say you do baby!
Say it and make my craziest dream come true.

With the kennedy's there'd have to be more than four
Just a simple american, not one of the "greats"
But he happens to be president of these united states!

We hide from the moon
Our meetings are few

Afraid to be heard
When people are near

Together we sigh
For one smiling day
To be free!
To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky
Behold and believe what you see
Behold how my lover loves me!

( theme from "love story" )
Where do i begin ?
To tell the story of how great a love can be,
The sweet love story that is older than the sea,
The simple truth about the love she brings to me,
Where do i start ?
With her first hello!
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine,
There'd never be another love, another time,
She came into my life and made the living fine,
She fills my heart . . .
She fills my heart with very special things,
With angels' songs , with wild imaginings,
She fills my soul with so much love,
That anywhere i go, i'm never lonely,
With her along, who could be lonely ?
I reach for her hand, it's always there . . .
How long does it last ?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day ?
I have no answers now, but this much i can say,
I know i'll need her 'till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there . . .
She'll be there . . .

Filled with love!
Whistling . . .
The telephone call that tied up the line,
For hours and hours,
The saturday dance, i got up the nerve,
To send you some flowers.
The penny arcade,
The games that we played,
The fun and the prizes!
The halloween hop,
When everyone came,
In funny disguises.
Magic, moments,
Memories we've been sharin',
Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin' . . .
Time can't erase the memory of,
These magic, moments,
Filled with love!
The way that we cheered,
Whenever our team,
Was scoring a touchdown!
The time that the floor,
Fell out of my car,
When i put the clutch down!
The heavenly days we spent at the beach
Just ridin' the breakers!
Two balcony seats an' after the show
A soda with bakers!
Magic, moments,
Filled with love!
Whistling . . .
Time can't erase the memory of,
These magic, moments,
Filled with love!
Whistling . . .
The telephone call that tied up the line,
For hours and hours,
The saturday dance, i got up the nerve,
To send you some flowers.
Magic, moments,
Memories we've been sharin',
Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin' . . .
Time can't erase the memory of,
These magic, moments,
Filled with love!
The way that we cheered,
Whenever our team,
Was scoring a touchdown!
The time that the floor,
Fell out of my car,
When i put the clutch down!
The penny arcade,
The games that we played,
The fun and the prizes!
The halloween hop,
When everyone came,
In funny disguises.
Magic, moments,
Filled with love!

60. _ Sleepy Time Gal
Sleepy time gal,
You're turnin' night into day!
Sleepy time gal,
You've danced the ev'ning away!
Before each silvery star fades out of sight,
Please give me one little kiss, then let us whisper "goodnight,"
It's gettin' late and, dear, your pillow's waitin' . . .
Sleepy time gal, when all your dancin' is through,
Sleepy time gal, i'll find a cottage for you.
You'll learn to cook and to sew,
What's more, you'll love it, i know!
When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
Eight o'clock sleepy time gal!

61. _ Some Enchanted Evening
Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger
You may see a stranger across a crowded room,
An' somehow you know, you know even then,
That somewhere you'll see her again and again!
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room,
An' night after night as strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams!
Who can explain it, who can tell you why,
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try!
Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love
When you hear her call you across a crowded room,
Then fly to her side and make her your own
Or all thru your life you may dream all alone!
Once you have found her,
Never let her go!
Once you have found her,
Never let her go!

62. _ South Of The Bor
South of the border, down mexico way,
That's where i fell in love when the stars above came out to play,
And now as i wander, my thoughts ever stray,
South of the border, down mexico way!
She was a picture in ol' spanish lace,
Just for a tender while i kissed the smile upon her face,
For it was "fiesta" and we were so gay,
South of the border, down mexico way!
Then she sighed as she whispered "mañana"
Never dreamin' that we were partin',
And i lied as i whispered "mañana"
For our tomorrow never came!
South of the border, i rode back one day,
There in a veil of white by candle-light she knelt to pray,
The mission bells told me that i mustn't stay,
South of the border, down mexico way!
Ay! ay! ay! ay!. . . ay! ay! ay! ay!

Verse 1
Mother dear, o pray for me!
Whilst far from heav'n and thee.
I wander in a fragile bark,
O'er life's tempestuous sea.
O virgin mother, from thy throne,
So bright in bliss above.
Protect thy child and cheer my path
With thy sweet smile of love.
Verse 2
Mother dear, o pray for me!
Should pleasure's siren lay.
E'er tempt thy child to wander far
From virtue's path away.
When thorns beset life's devious way,
And darkling waters flow.
Then mary aid thy weeping child,
Thyself a mother show.
Chorus
Mother dear, remember me!
And never cease thy care,
'till in heaven eternally,
Thy love and bliss i share.

Oh! what a trip!
What a wonderful trip!
And to think that i was worried
At the start of the trip!
I must confess that i was filled with doubt
But there was really nothing to worry about!
They love me, they love me!
I'm welcome everywhere with open arms!
They love me, they love me!
I never knew i had so many charms!
In pakistan they took be sailing on a lovely lake
In india they let be see a mongoose kill a snake
Because they love me, they love me
An' they want me to come back again!
They love me, they love me!
In tokyo they think that i'm a "dream"
They claimed me an' named me
"america's ambassador supreme"
They always have a banquet
On the day that i arrive
In borneo they made me eat
An octopus "alive!"
Because they love me? . . . they love me
An' they want me to come back again!
They love me, they love me!
With every place i visit it's the same!
They meet me, an' greet me!
With every kind of present you can name!
A chieftain in new guinea
With his forehead painted "red"
Presented me with a poison arrow
An' a "shrunken head"
Because they love me . . . oh they love me
An' they want me to come back again!
They love me, they love me!
I smile when i'm presented with a key!
In thailand 'twas my land
I spent a happy day from two to three!
The day i left arabia
My seat was full of bumps . . .
They made me ride a camel
Where i sat between the humps!
Because they love me . . . they love me
An' they want me to come back
They want me to come back
They want me to come back again!

Yesterday i heard the rain,
Whispering your name,
Asking where you'd gone . . .
It fell softly from the clouds
On the silent crowds,
As i wandered on . . .
Out of doorways
Black umbrellas came to pursue me,
Faceless people as they passed
Were looking through me,
No one knew me . . .
Yesterday i shut my eyes,
Face-up to the skies,
Drinkin' in the rain . . .
But your image still was there
Floating in the air,
Brighter than a flame . . .
Yesterday i saw a city,
Full of shadows without pity,
And i heard the steady rain,
Whispering your name,
Whispering your name . . .

'twas just a garden in the rain,
Close to a little leafy lane
A touch of colour 'neath skies of gray!
The raindrops kissed the flower beds
The blossoms raised their thirsty heads
A perfumed thank you they seem to say!
Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
Maybe it was just that i was there
With you!
'twas just a garden in the rain,
But then the sun came out again
And sent us happily on our way!
Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
But, maybe it was just that you were there dear,
You were so lovely!
'twas just a garden in the rain,
But then the sun came out again
And sent us happily on our way!
Just a garden in the rain!

69. _ First Lady
( she's the first lady, she's the first lady,
She's the first lady of the land! )
She might have been a teacher
A job that she'd adore . . .
She might have been a housewife
A wife and nothing more!
She might have been an actress
Who might have played broadway!
But my husband had to be president ( hmm . . . )
And what am i today?
I'm the "first" lady of the land,
The "first" lady of the land
Standing on a receiving line,
Winding up with an aching spine
Calluses on my receiving hand,
As the "first" lady of the land!
For every week a different hairdo,
Which means another dress
Those meetings with committees,
And sparing with the "press"
Those dreary formal dinners,
When i stay up 'till dawn
Counting all the silver
When the guests have gone!
When they march out in single file,
And i must smile, smile, smile!
I'd rather be the second
Or the third or the forth
Or the fifth or the sixth
Or the seventh instead
Of the "first" lady of the land!
I'm the "first" lady of the land,
The "first" lady of the land
Entertaining at lunch or tea,
Do do-gooders who call on me
Telling of their noble deeds they've planned
For the "first" lady of the land!
And oh the presents that they send me
An awful lot of junk
An un-housebroken poodle
A dehydrated skunk
A turkey for "thanksgiving"
Potat'as in a sack
But when they send me a "diamond"
I must send it back!
When the whole cabinet arrives
And bring their wives, wives, wives!
I'd rather be the second
Or the third or the forth
Or the fifth or the sixth
Or the seventh instead
Of the "first" lady of the land!

Can't sleep at night without dreams of you,
And now you fill my daydreams too!
Where you're concerned,
When did this feeling start to grow in me,
Where you're concerned?
Why did it take so long for me to see?
I can't pretend i'm just a friend,
Where you're concerned?
If love is just a game, then i can't play,
Where you're concerned!
I never thought i'd feel this way, but now,
I want to live, just to give,
Where you're concerned!
Can't sleep at night without dreams of you,
And now you fill my daydreams too!

When evening falls so hard, i will comfort you,
I'll take your part,
Oh! when darkness comes,
And pain is all around . . .
Like a bridge over troubled water,

Like a bridge over troubled water,

Sail on silver girl, sail on by,
Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way,
See how they shine,
Oh! when you need a friend,

So i know what "glory" is
I have lost a friend
So i know what "sorrow" is
I have knelt down in prayer

Lookin' back at what i've done in my time,

But for my days of loving you!

When i might have made my mark in this world,

I had my days of loving you!
Let the others go their way,
Seeking more and more,
Give me just one yesterday,
Filled with love like yours!
I have nothin' to regret in this life,
I've had all there is to get in this life,
Once i lived a dream come true,
I had my days of loving you!
Once i lived a dream come true,

Hiding out in someone's arms,

That she's repented,
And really wanted no one but me!

And there's no one to comfort me,
I think of you . . .
And suddenly my pillow is your face and your arms.
And when the winter wind comes chasin' after me,

And it's as though i crawl beneath the blanket
Soft and warm.
How did i get from dark to daylight,
Before you happened to pass by?
How did i find my way through life,
Before you brightened up my sky?
Was there a sky at all,
Until you painted it for me?
How did i get on,

Although she has another,

Upon my knees to her i'm creeping,

My youth was spent in the orient
Where they never taught me to waltz
You'd be surprised when i exercised
It was never done to a waltz!
It was "done" like this . . .
But never to a waltz!
In ancient siam, women like i am
Indoors or on the street . . .
No woman . . . dances with her feet!
Egyptian, persian, only one version
No other stands a chance,
Feet are for walking,
Not for dance!
To an oriental fiddle,
You can see them shake their middle,
The feet don't mean a thing
Middles are all they swing!
Even an egyptian "mummy"
Wiggles her tummy
Wiggles it so an' so
That is the only dance ! know!

You don't need an arthur murray
Just a fringe that's on the surrey
Will satisfy your needs
Dancing between the beads!

Sexy but more-so,
Shake it, come on, let's go . . .
Let's do the only dance i know!

81. _ ( The ) First Christmas (1950 Version )
Hi boys and girls, i'm perry como,
And i'm gonna tell you the most wonderful story in the whole world,
The story of the first christmas!
Now suppose you make believe this is many, many years ago,
A long time before you were born!
You're standing on a hillside, near a little town in palestine,
Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a donkey?
His name is joseph!
And riding on the donkey is mary.
They've come a long, long way,
And they're heading for the town near the hillside,
On which we're standing!
Something very special will happen in this town tonight!
For this is the little town of bethlehem!
Oh little town of bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie,
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by!
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
The everlasting light!
The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in thee tonight!
Now let's follow joseph and mary into bethlehem,
It's getting dark and all the rooms at the inn are taken,
So they spend the night at a stable.
Now i told you something special was gonna happen, and it did!
A baby boy is born to mary,
And they called him jesus.
They had no baby's crib, so mary puts little jesus to sleep,
In the soft sweet hay of a manger!
Come, come, come to the manger,
Little lord jesus is born on this day!
Now while jesus lies in the manger asleep,
Let's tiptoe back to the hillside near bethlehem,
Where the shepherds tend their flock.
All at once the shepherds are frightened,
You'd be frightened too,
Because a great light suddenly shines in the sky!
Even the animals are hushed and still,
But then you hear the voice of an angel of the lord!
And you're no longer frightened,
For the angel brings good news,
News of a saviour born this day,
News of christ the lord!
The first noel! the angels did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds,
In fields as they lay,
Noel, noel, noel, noel!
Born is the king of israel!
Now boys and girls,
Remember, we're still making believe we're with the shepherds and the angel,
On the hillside near bethlehem.
The shepherds ask the angel,
Where to find the christ-child ?
And the angel tells them to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is filled with others angels singing,
Glory to god! on earth peace, goodwill, to men!
The shepherds hurry to the manger,
Fall on their knees before the baby,
And they worship him!
For he is christ the lord!
Oh! come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh come ye, oh! come ye, to bethlehem!
Come and behold him,
Born the king of angels,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Christ the lord!
And now, look up into the sky!
See that bright star twinkling in the heavens ?
Far away, three men are looking at that star just as we are!
They're riding on camels,
And they're using the star as a guide to lead them to the christ-child.
Who are these three men who follow the star ?
Let's find out!
We three kings of orient are,
Bearing gifts, we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star!
That's right boys and girls,
The three men on the camels are the three wise men,
The new star guides them to bethlehem,
To a little baby lying in a manger!
There the three wise men present gifts to the christ-child,
The first christmas gifts ever given to anyone,
A gift of gold, of frankincense, and of mir!
The wise men fall on their knees to worship him,
A great peace settles on the night,
For it's the holy night!
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,

In the silent magical moonbeams light?

Were made but to be broken . . .

And broken melody of love and life
Nevermore to me

And pray his love may make our love divine,
Because god made thee mine!

Feelings, nuthin' more than feelings,
Tryin' to forget my,
Feelings of love . . .
Teardrops, rollin' down on my face,
Tryin' to forget my,
Feelings of love . . .
Feelings, for all my life i'll feel it,
I wish i'd never met you girl,
You'll never come again . . .

Feelings, oh oh oh feelings,
Oh oh oh feel you,
Again in my arms . . . ( again, again! )

And feelings like i've never held you again in my arms! )
Feelings, for all my life i'll feel it,
I wish i'd never met you girl,
You'll never come again . . .

Feelings, oh oh oh feelings,
Oh oh oh feel you,
Again in my arms . . . ( again, again! )

90. _ I Found A Million Dollar Baby
( in a five and ten cent store )
It was a lucky april shower
It was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
In a five an' ten cent store!
The rain continued for an' hour
I hung around for three or four
Around a million dollar baby
In a five an' ten cent store!
She was sellin' china
An' when she made those eyes
I kept buyin' china
Until the crowd got wise!
Incidentally . . .
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
An' meet the million dollar baby
From a five an' ten cent store!
< instrumental repeat of verse >
She was sellin' china
An' when she made those eyes
I kept buyin' china
Until the crowd got wise!
Incidentally . . .
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
An' meet the million dollar baby
The lady that i adore
She's the million dollar baby
From the five . . .
The five an' ten cent store!

92. _ Empty Pockets Filled With Love
Empty pockets but a heart full of love
A heart full of love for you
Cash? not any, not one red penny
But kisses many, for you!
Empty pockets but a heart beating fast
As true as the stars above
Please say that you'll get by with just a guy
With empty pockets filled with love!
You can't eat love, you can't drink love
You can't wear love, like you would a gown
I trust love but "just" love won't pay for caviar
Won't buy that motor car, or a house in town!
You can't spend love, you can't lend love
You must end love when the chips are down!
Love flies out the window when there's nothin' to eat
Nothin' to drink, nothin' to wear but a frown
An' the chips are down!

In our hide-away,
Far from all the fuss that bothers us
We'll hide-away, we two!
In our hide-away ( in our hide-away . . . )
We'll be all alone, no telephone to worry me or you!
We will have a ball,
Busy doin' nothing at all!
In our hide-away ( in our hide-away . . . )
We will lock the door an' throw away the key
What a holiday, our hide-away will be!
In our hide-away,
Far from all the fuss that bothers us
We'll hide-away, we two!
In our hide-away, we'll be all alone,
No telephone to worry me or you!

We will lock the door an' throw away the key
What a holiday, our hide-away will be!

The hills are alive and the earth is hummin'
Love is spreadin' over the world!
Put your ear to the ground, you can hear it comin'
Love is spreadin' over the world!
Hear it in the trees as the breeze is blowin'
See it in the fields where the grass is growin'
Pretty soon your heart will be over-flowin'
With love, sweet love!
Shout it down from the highest steeple
Love is spreadin' over the world!
Give the word to all of god's people
Love is spreadin' over the world!
Everybody is somebody's brother
Now is the time to love one another
Hand in hand we can make it together
Love is spreadin' over the world!

95. _ Secret Service
The "secret service" makes me nervous
When i am dating they are waiting to observe us
When i get ready to hold steady for the "kiss" you plan
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i can't!
They're always spying, no denying
They're always peeping, gumshoe creeping, private eying
When i'm beginning to give-inning like a maiden aunt
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i can't!
I've been exposed beyond control
Just like a "goldfish" in a bowl!
The president's daughter must drink water
No drink of "scotch" she might do what she hadn't otter
When i'm ignited, so excited that i start to "pant"
The "secret service" makes me nervous
When my lamps are lit
And i say "this is it!"
. . . the "secret service" makes me nervous
And i can't!
The "secret service" makes me nervous
Those white house "dicks" get all their kicks
When they observe us!
Just as i wind up, make my mind up, not to say "i won't"
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i don't!
When things look "rosy" they get nosy
They'll say there's "tootsie" playing "footsie" very cosy
My pulse goes higher, i'm on fire, shakin' at the knees
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i freeze!
Whatever i may do or say
Will be reported the next day!
They don't see clearly when i'm merely being courted
When i'm just "necking" simply "pecking" with a "cary grant"
They stand behind me to remind me "who" and "what" i am
. . . when i don't give a "?x?x" ( ooh ahh ahh! )
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i can't!

96. _ Didn't We?
This time we almost made the pieces fit,
Didn't we girl?
This time we almost made some sense of it,
Didn't we girl?
This time i held the answer
Right here in my hand,
Then i touched it
And it had turned to sand!
This time we almost sang our songs in tune,
Didn't we girl?
This time we almost made it to the moon,
Didn't we girl?
This time we almost made
Our poem rhyme,
This time we almost made
That long, long climb
Didn't we almost make it,
This time?
. . . didn't we almost make it,
This time?

97. _ Me And You And A Dog Named Boo
I remember to this day,
The bright red georgia clay,
How it stuck to the tires after the summer rain . . .
Will-power made that ol' car go,
A woman's mind told me that it's so,
Oh! how i wish we were back on the road again . . .
Me an' you an' a dog named boo,
Travelin' and livin' off the land . . .
Me an' you an' a dog named boo,
How i loved bein' a free man . . .
I can still recall,
The wheat fields of st. paul,
And the mornin' we got caught robbin' from an old hen . . .
Old macdonald, he made us work,
But then he paid us for what it was worth,
Another tank of gas an' back on the road again . . .
< repeat chorus >
Well, i'll never forget that day,
We motored stately into big l.a.
The lights of the city put settling-down in my brain . . .
Though it's only a month or so,
That ol' car is a buggin' us to go,
You gotta get away,
Get back on the road again . . .

99. _ When You Were Sweet Sixteen
When first i saw the love-light in your eyes,
I dreamed the world held not but joy for me.
And even though we drifted far apart,
I never dream but what i dream of thee.
I love you as i never loved before,
Since first i met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is o'r,
I love you as i loved you, when you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.
I love you as i never loved before,
Since first i met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is o'r . . .
I love you as i loved you, when you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.

Marryin' for love!

Where there's love, poets have said,
Two can live as one!
That's an old-fashioned idea,
But it's bein' done!
If she must have gold, let it be in her hair,
Rubes, let 'em be in her lips,
Diamonds, let 'em shine in her eyes!
Just an old-fashioned romance,
With the moon above,
A romance, one that will end,
Marryin' for love
That's the kind of love
That i'm thinking of!

102. _ ( The ) Story Of The First Christmas (1959 Version )
This is perry como . . .
And i'd like to tell you the most wonderful, the most beautiful,
The most exciting story in the whole world,
The story of the first christmas!
Now suppose you make believe this is many, many years ago,
A long time before you were born!
You're standing on a hillside, near a little town in palestine,
Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a donkey?
His name is joseph!
Someone is sitting on the back of the donkey,
And her name is mary!
They've come a long, long way,
And they're heading for a little town near the hillside,
On which we're standing!
Something very special will happen in this little town tonight!
For this is the little town of bethlehem!
Oh little town of bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie,
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by!
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
The everlasting light!
The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in thee tonight!
Let's follow joseph and mary into the town of bethlehem,
It's getting dark and all of the rooms at the inn are taken,
But the kindly innkeeper tells them
They could spend the night at a stable nearby!
Now i told you something was gonna happen, and it did!
A baby boy is born to mary and joseph,
Whom they call jesus!
They have no baby's crib, so mary puts little jesus to sleep,
In the soft sweet hay of a manger!
Come, come, come to the manger,
Children sing and asleep on the hay,
Sing, sing, chorus of angels,
Little lord jesus is born on this day!
Jesus is asleep in the manger,
So let's tiptoe out to the hillside near bethlehem,
Where the shepherds are tending their flock.
All at once the shepherds are frightened,
You'd be frightened too,
Because a great light suddenly shines in the sky!
Even the animals are hushed and still,
But then you hear the voice of an angel of the lord!
And you're no longer frightened,
For the angel brings good news,
News of a saviour born this day,
News of christ the lord!
The first noel! the angels did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds,
In fields as they lay, in fields where they,
Lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night, that was so deep!
Noel, noel, noel, noel!
Born is the king of israel!
Well, we're still with the shepherds,
On the hillside near bethlehem.
We hear the shepherds ask the angel,
Where to find the christ-child?
And the angel tells them to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is filled with other angels singing,
Glory to god! and on earth peace, goodwill, to men!
The shepherds hurry to the manger,
Fall on their knees before the baby,
And they worship him!
For he is christ the lord!
Oh! come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh come ye, oh come ye, to bethlehem!
Come and behold him,
Born the king of angels,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Christ the lord!
And now, look up into the sky!
Do you see that bright star twinkling in the heavens?
Far away, three men are looking at that star just as we are!
They're riding on camels,
And they're using the star as a guide to lead them to the christ-child.
Who are these three men who follow the star?
We three kings of orient are,
Bearing gifts, we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star!
Yes, the three men on the camels are the three wise men,
The new star guides them straight to bethlehem,
To a little baby lying in a manger!
There the three wise men present gifts to the christ-child,
The first christmas gifts ever given to anyone,
A gift of gold, of frankincense, and of mir!
And they too fall on their knees to worship him,
And now, a great peace settles on the night,
For it is the holy night!
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,

104. _ Is He The Only Man In The World
Is he the only man in the world,
That you will always love and adore,
Look just as good to you in the morning,
As he did the night before?
Out of a hundred million or two,
Is he the only one for you?
If he's the only man in the world,
Come rain or shine,
Then he's a man like mine!

Out of a hundred million or two,

In your heart you'll hear it call you,
"come away, come away . . ."

On the wind of the sea,
"here am i your special island"
"come to me, come to me . . ."

Your own special dreams,
Bloom on the hillside,
And shine in the streams . . .
If you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am i your special island
Come to me, come to me . . .

Someday you'll see me,
Floating in the sunshine,
My head's sticking out from a low flying cloud . . .
You'll hear me call you,
Singing through the sunshine
Sweet and clear as can be . . .
